I highly recommend Optery. There are far more information databases than those found on Google.
The second phase is to stop using all the accounts they find and start using disposable emails and credit cards. I use Simple Login and Privacy and have made it very difficult linking my information in any low-level clearinghouse.
I tried using Privacy a few years ago, but 1. a lot of websites block Privacy's prepaid debit card numbers and 2. I ran into a spending limit.
But, the ease of use was nice. Not sure if things have changed since then.
I’ve been using them for a couple years now and, so far, only one vendor has rejected their card. I pay for their service, so I don’t have any limits and their cash back program usually pays for the monthly fee.
I rarely use my actual CC anymore, and now they integrate with Apple Wallet, I will probably stop needing my bank card altogether.
I love being able to visualize all my subscriptions in one place and be able to turn them off whenever I want. That alone is worth the price.
Cool! Maybe I should give them another shot. I definitely like the idea.
